This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Creative thinker and advocate

I have known Mr. Gray for over 20 years both personally and professionally. David is both a creative thinker and logician whom seeks to thoughtfully weigh both sides of every issue and seeks the best possible outcome as a result. His knowledge of property tax law was recently on display in arguing ...in front of the Illinois Supreme Court. I would not hesitate to in engage him on any matter requiring legal expertise, litigated or otherwise.

I have consulted and discussed legal issues with Attorney Gray many times over the years. His assistance with navigating the court system in Illinois was invaluable. David is my go to for Illinois law, especially when he shares his deep knowledge on property and tax. David is also very experienced i...n the legal arenas of Chicagoland, Springfield, and beyond. I am always impressed with his enthusiasm and inquisitive nature.
